Reduction cranioplasty is one of the treatment modality among many treatment options for macrocephaly with hydrocephalus. The most previous techniques of reduction cranioplasty have some disadvantages such as difficult airway maintenance, pressure sore due to modified prone position, severe venous infarct due to obstruction of venous blood flow and large amount of bleeding from the dissection of superior sagittal sinus to obtain bone fragment needed. A 28-month-old girl had extreme macrocephaly. She couldn't control head rotation and keep sitting position. The operation was performed at supine position with adequate exposure of entire calvarium and the hinge was made in occipital bone fragment that covered posterior part of superior sagittal sinus. Bleeding volume and the other complications were decreased and acceptable reduction was achieved with this method.

Stable TiS$i_2$was formed by RTA on single-Si and on poly-Si. Subsequently, an Al-1% Si layer with 600-nm thick was deposited on top of the TiS$i_2$, Finally, the specimens were annealed for 30min at 400-60$0^{\circ}C$in $N_2$ambient. The thermal stability of Al-1% Si/TiS$i_2$bilayer and interfacial reaction were investigated by measuring sheet resistance, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The composition and phase of precipitates formed by the reaction of Al-1% Si with Ti-silicide were studied by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD). In the case of single-Si substrate the reaction of Al-1% Si layer with TiS$i_2$layer resulted in precipitates, consuming all TiS$i_2$layer at 55$0^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the disappearance of TiS$i_2$on poly-Si occurred at 50$0^{\circ}C$ and more precipitates were formed by the reaction of Al-1% Si/TiS$i_2$on potty-Si substrate than those of the reaction on single-Si substrate. This phenomenon resulted from the fact that Ti-silicide formed on poly-Si was more unstable than on single-Si by the effect of grain boundary. By EDS analysis the precipitates were found tobe composed of Ti, Al, and Si. X-ray diffraction showed the phase of precipitates to be theT$i_7$A$l_5$S$i_12$ternary compound.

Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) is a polishing process used in the microelectronic fabrication industries to achieve a globally planar wafer surface for the manufacturing of integrated circuits. Pad conditioning plays an important role in the CMP process to maintain a material removal rate (MRR) and its uniformity. For metal CMP process, highly acidic slurry containing strong oxidizer is being used. It would affect the conditioner surface which normally made of metal such as Nickel and its alloy. If conditioner surface is corroded, diamonds on the conditioner surface would be fallen out from the surface. Because of this phenomenon, not only life time of conditioners is decreased, but also more scratches are generated. To protect the conditioners from corrosion, thin organic film deposition on the metal surface is suggested without requiring current conditioner manufacturing process. To prepare the anti-corrosion film on metal conditioner surface, vapor SAM (self-assembled monolayer) and FC (Fluorocarbon) -CVD (SRN-504, Sorona, Korea) films were prepared on both nickel and nickel alloy surfaces. Vapor SAM method was used for SAM deposition using both Dodecanethiol (DT) and Perfluoroctyltrichloro silane (FOTS). FC films were prepared in different thickness of 10 nm, 50 nm and 100 nm on conditioner surfaces. Electrochemical analysis such as potentiodynamic polarization and impedance, and contact angle measurements were carried out to evaluate the coating characteristics. Impedance data was analyzed by an electrical equivalent circuit model. The observed contact angle is higher than 90o after thin film deposition, which confirms that the coatings deposited on the surfaces are densely packed. The results of potentiodynamic polarization and the impedance show that modified surfaces have better performance than bare metal surfaces which could be applied to increase the life time and reliability of conditioner during W CMP.

Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) formed by alkanethiol adsorption to thin metal film are widely being investigated for applications as coating layer for anti-stiction or friction reduction and in fabrication of micro structure of molecules and bio molecules. Recently, there have been many researches on micro patterning using the advantages of very thin thickness and etching resistance of Self-Assembled Monolayers in selective etching of thin metal film. In this report, we present the several machining method to form the nanoscale structure by Mask-Less laser patterning using alknanethiolate Self-Assembled Monolayers such as thin metal film etching and heterogeneous SAM structure formation.

In this paper, a direct torque control method of an induction motor is proposed which enables constant switching frequency. The switching strategy of a conventional direct torque control scheme which is based on hysteresis comparator results in a variable switching frequency which depends on the speed, flux, stator voltage and hysteresis band of the comparator. This paper proposes a new switching strategy which determine the effective switching time on each switching period by comparing the ascending and descending torque slopes. The simulation results are presented to verify this proposed scheme.

World energy demand has been dramatically increasing because of using much energy of developing countries in Asia. The other side, conventional fossil fuels supply has been gradually decreasing due to the limitation of fossil fuel reserves and changing to the use of environmental-friendly energy for prevention the emission of carbon dioxide, NOx and SOx. Based on these times and status, we get the n necessity of the conversion of environmental-friendly energy and the high effective utilization of conventional and unconventional energy. Recently, promised DME fuel as environmental-friendly and substituted oils will be introduced the status of technology and market in domestic and foreign.

The dropper length calculation method about the normal same encumbrance spans is well known independent to whether the pre-sag is given or not. But, the dropper length calculation method for the elevating span which consists in the end area of a tensioning section and normally consists with overlaps is not well known. In this study, firstly, we investigate the dropper length calculation method about the elevating span whether the insulator is contained in or not, we also recognize the effect of dropper length due to the change of the take-off point. Secondly, we very this calculation method with a catenary sample data and check again with Gyeongbu HSL design data.

The detail design of overhead line can be dievided into a pegging plan and MD(Mounting Diagram) process. A program can perform a MD process was already developed and used in Honam High-Speed project. In this study, a pegging plan program which can perform mast distribution automatically is developed. The system is developed based on dot net framework 4.0 and Civil3D 2012 and used spread 4.0 component for grid UI. It can not be directly used a rail horizontal alignment and long-section profile together on drawing. Therefore using Civil3D, mathematical alignment and profile of rail can be accomplished. And this program has an advantage of user friendly operation because of close relationship between the two.

In this paper, we present an effective RLS algorithm with forgetting factor of Erlang function for the system identification. In the proposed algorithm, the forgetting factor decreases monotonically in the first stage, and then it increases monotonically in the second stage in contrary to the conventional forgetting factor RLS algorithms. In addition, annealing effect and an asymptotically stability of the proposed algorithm is discussed based on the analysis of convergency property on. Simulation results for the system identification problem indicate the superiority of the proposed algorithm in comparison to the RLS algorithm such as NLMS and Kalman filter based algorithm.
